Dreams

"Where is it now, the glory and the dream?"
William Wordsworth
" Imitations of Immortality"






"DREAMS"
by Langston Hughes

Hold onto dreams
For if dreams die
Life is like a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.






Hi again. Soon after I had published today's tidbits, Alan's Mum and Dad arrived on our doorstep. A close family friend had taken them to Church; and, as they have not attended for awhile; it was an extra special event for them. The family friend had a luncheon; however, some other people who live close to us, dropped them off.

They were glad to be "out"; and as the photo image shows of the old man in the chair, with his head in his hands, that is pretty much the situation for Alan's parents, at the horrid bit place, where they have literally been dumped into, and left to die. Not a nice scenario. We are thinking that once the tenant leaves (of her own accord) then, we will move his parents in; because they are not currently, experiencing a quality of life. As Alan's Mum said, they are merely just existing; pretty sad, don't you think?

They enjoyed a tidbitz of lunch along with a bittidz beer for Alan's Dad; and a bittidz Bailey's for Alan's Mum. Alan is still on medication; but he did enjoy a beer. I had a glass of champagne! Alan loves his beer; and I appreciate champagne! Go figure! They say "opposites attract"; well, it works! The tidbitz drink uplifted their fragile spirits and hope was restored to them; and they are looking so forward to relocating to their new nest.

Tidbit - Have a genuine empathy and compassion for others. When you uplift and give encouragment to others, you feel so much the better for it!

Good Night and Sweet Dreams!
